In the USA, for example, many people learn that the most valued boy will be white, engage in rough-and-tumble play with other boys that will toughen him up and straighten him out, allowing him to mature into a man who wears a suit and tie, makes a lot of money, enters into a sexually monogamous marriage with a woman, buys a home, and has enough but not too many children.

Someone sounds jealous. It's okay, don't cry. Just convince kids to dress up like perverts too, and then you'll be the normal ones!

Why is any of that such a nightmare to them? It’s as if they realised that not every little boy is like that, then decided any who are are monsters.

Because they secretly wish they could fit in and be normal, accepted and loved, but they can't, so they try to make being normal seem wrong.
